Phonotacticon

PhonoBib

PanPhon

Create PanPhon regular expression:

PanPhonOrder <- PanPhon$ipa[order(-nchar(PanPhon$ipa), PanPhon$ipa)]
PanPhonRegex <- paste0("(?:", paste(PanPhonOrder, collapse="|"), ")")

str_trunc(PanPhonRegex, 100)

## [1] "(?:h͡d̪͡ɮ̪ʲʷ|h͡d̪͡ɮ̪ʷː|h͡d̪͡ɮ̪ʷˠ|h͡d̪͡ɮ̪ʷˤ|h͡d̪͡z̪ʲʷ|h͡d̪͡z̪ʷː|h͡d̪͡z̪ʷˠ|h͡d̪͡z̪ʷˤ|h͡t̪͡ɬ̪ʲʷ|h͡t̪..."

Subset Eurasian lects that are complete in Phonotacticon:

Eurasia <- Phonotacticon %>% 
  filter(Macroarea == 'Eurasia',
         Complete,
         complete.cases(P),
         O != "?",
         N != "?",
         C != "?",
         !grepl("[A-Z]|\\[", O),
         !grepl("[A-Z]|\\[", N),
         !grepl("[A-Z]|\\[", C))

Extract onset, nucleus, and coda sequences:

Sequences <- Eurasia %>% 
  select(Lect, O, N, C) %>% 
  pivot_longer(-Lect, names_to = 'Category', values_to = 'Sequence') %>% 
  separate(col = Sequence, 
           sep = ' ', 
           into = as.character(1:500),
           fill = 'right') %>% 
  pivot_longer(-c(Lect, Category), names_to = 'Number', values_to = 'Sequence') %>% 
  select(-Number) %>% 
  filter(!is.na(Sequence)) %>% 
  distinct()

Sequences

Split the sequences into segments:

Segments <- stri_extract_all_regex(Sequences$Sequence, 
                         pattern = PanPhonRegex,
                         simplify = TRUE) %>% 
  as_tibble(.name_repair = 'unique') %>% 
  mutate(Lect = Sequences$Lect,
         Category = Sequences$Category,
         Sequence = Sequences$Sequence) %>% 
  pivot_longer(cols = -c(Lect, Category, Sequence),
               names_to = 'Order',
               values_to = 'ipa') %>% 
  mutate(Order = Order %>% 
           as.factor() %>% 
           as.integer()) %>% 
  filter(ipa != "")

## New names:
## • `` -> `...1`
## • `` -> `...2`
## • `` -> `...3`
## • `` -> `...4`
## • `` -> `...5`

Segments

Measure the length of each sequence:

Sequences_length <- Segments %>% 
  count(Lect, Category, Sequence,
        name = 'Length')

Sequences_length

Join the length of each sequence to segments:

Segments <- left_join(Segments, Sequences_length)

## Joining, by = c("Lect", "Category", "Sequence")

Segments

Count the maximal length:

MaxLength <- max(Sequences_length$Length)

MaxLength

## [1] 5

Count the number of split segments:

Segments_number <- nrow(Segments)

Segments_number

## [1] 8697

Assign different positions to each sequence:

Sequences_rep <- bind_rows(rep(list(Segments), 5))

Sequences_rep <- Sequences_rep %>% 
  mutate(Position = rep(0:(MaxLength - 1),
                        each = Segments_number)) %>% 
  mutate(Order = Order + Position) %>% 
  filter(Length + Position <= MaxLength) %>% 
  select(-Length)

Sequences_rep

Calculating the phonological distance

Join segments with their phonological features:

Sequences_features <- Sequences_rep %>% 
  left_join(PanPhon, by = 'ipa') %>% 
  pivot_longer(cols = -c(Lect, 
                         Category, 
                         Sequence, 
                         Order, 
                         ipa, 
                         Position),
               names_to = 'Feature',
               values_to = 'Value') %>% 
  mutate(Feature = paste0(Feature, Order)) %>% 
  pivot_wider(names_from = 'Feature',
              values_from = 'Value') %>% 
  select(-Order, -ipa) %>% 
  pivot_longer(cols = -c(Lect, Category, Sequence, Position),
               names_to = 'Feature',
               values_to = 'Value') %>% 
  filter(Value != 'NULL') %>% 
  pivot_wider(names_from = 'Feature',
              values_from = 'Value') %>% 
  replace(is.na(.), 0)

Sequences_features

Paste sequence and position together:

Sequences_SeqPos <- Sequences_features %>%
  mutate(SequencePosition = paste0(Sequence, Position)) %>% 
  select(-Lect, -Category, -Position, -Sequence) %>% 
  select(SequencePosition, everything()) %>% 
  distinct()

Sequences_SeqPos

Calculate the distance between segments:

Sequences_distance <- Sequences_SeqPos %>% 
  select(-SequencePosition) %>%  
  dist(method = 'euclidean') %>% 
  as.matrix() %>%
  as_tibble(.name_repair = 'unique')

Sequences_distance <- bind_cols(Sequences_SeqPos$SequencePosition,
                                Sequences_distance)

## New names:
## • `` -> `...1`

colnames(Sequences_distance) <- c('SequencePosition',
                                 Sequences_SeqPos$SequencePosition)

Sequences_distance

Find the minimal distance among the different positions:

Sequences_MinDistance <- Sequences_distance %>% 
  pivot_longer(-SequencePosition, 
               names_to = 'Sequence.y', 
               values_to = 'Distance') %>% 
  mutate(Sequence.x = str_remove(SequencePosition, '[0-9]')) %>% 
  select(-SequencePosition) %>% 
  mutate(Sequence.y = str_remove(Sequence.y, '[0-9]')) %>% 
  group_by(Sequence.x, Sequence.y) %>% 
  summarise(Distance = min(Distance))

## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'Sequence.x'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.

Sequences_MinDistance

Subset the distance of /pl/ and other segments:

pl <- Sequences_MinDistance %>% 
  filter(Sequence.x == 'pl',
         Sequence.y != '∅') %>% 
  arrange(Distance)

pl

Subset the distance of /ia/ and other segments:

ia <- Sequences_MinDistance %>% 
  filter(Sequence.x == 'ia',
         Sequence.y != '∅') %>% 
  arrange(Distance)

ia

Compare the difference between two lects within the same category:

ONC_distance <- Sequences %>% 
  left_join(Sequences, by = c('Category')) %>%
  left_join(Sequences_MinDistance, 
            by = c('Sequence.x', 'Sequence.y')) %>% 
  group_by(Lect.x, Category, Sequence.x, Lect.y) %>% 
  summarize(Distance = min(Distance)) %>% 
  group_by(Lect.x, Category, Lect.y) %>% 
  summarize(Distance = mean(Distance)) %>% 
  mutate(Lect_vs_Lect = str_c(pmin(Lect.x, Lect.y),
                             "vs.",
                              pmax(Lect.x, Lect.y),
                              sep = " ")) %>% 
  group_by(Lect_vs_Lect, Category) %>% 
  mutate(Distance = max(Distance)) %>% 
  ungroup() %>% 
  select(Lect_vs_Lect, Category, Distance) %>% 
  distinct()

## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'Lect.x', 'Category', 'Sequence.x'. You can
## override using the `.groups` argument.
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'Lect.x', 'Category'. You can override

ONC_distance

Count the number of tones in each lect:

Tones <- Eurasia %>%
  select(Lect, `T`) %>%
  mutate(`T` = gsub("\\-", NA, `T`)) %>%
  mutate(`T` = str_count(`T`, " ") + 1)

Tones[is.na(Tones$`T`),]$`T` <- 0

Tones

Tones_distance <- dist(Tones, method = 'canberra')

## Warning in dist(Tones, method = "canberra"): NAs introduced by coercion

Tones_distance[is.na(Tones_distance)] <- 0
Tones_distance <- Tones_distance %>%
    as.matrix() %>%
    as_tibble(.name_repair = 'unique')

Tones_distance <- bind_cols(Tones$Lect, Tones_distance)

## New names:
## • `` -> `...1`

colnames(Tones_distance) <- c('Lect', Tones$Lect)

Tones_distance <- Tones_distance %>%
    pivot_longer(-Lect, names_to = 'Lect2', values_to = 'Distance') %>%
    mutate(Lect_vs_Lect = str_c(pmin(Lect, Lect2),
                                "vs.",
                                pmax(Lect, Lect2),
                               sep = " "),
           Category = 'T') %>%
    select(Lect_vs_Lect, Category, Distance) %>%
    distinct()

Tones_distance

Bind segmental and tonal distances:

ONCT_distance <- rbind(ONC_distance,
                        Tones_distance) %>%
                  pivot_wider(names_from = Category,
                  values_from = Distance)

ONCT_distance

Normalize the distances:

ONCT_distance[, c('O', 'N', 'C', 'T')] <-
      scale(ONCT_distance[, c('O', 'N', 'C', 'T')])

ONCT_distance

Calculate the mean of the distances and obtain the phonological distances:

PhonoDist <- ONCT_distance %>%
  mutate(Distance = 
               rowMeans(ONCT_distance[, c('O', 'N', 'C', 'T')])) %>%
  mutate(Distance = Distance - min(Distance)) %>% 
  select(Lect_vs_Lect, Distance)

PhonoDist

Split the Lect_vs_Lect column of PhonoDist into Lect.x and Lect.y:

Lect_vs_Lect <- str_split_fixed(
  PhonoDist$Lect_vs_Lect, ' vs. ', n = 2) %>% 
  as_tibble(.name_repair = 'unique')

## New names:
## • `` -> `...1`
## • `` -> `...2`
